What. Wild Pigs Turn ‘Neon Blue’ in California, Triggering Warnings
I’m glad the AAP is doing their duty and standing up for vaccines. I’m still worried this BS from the CDC means that insurance won’t cover COVID vax even if they’re updated this fall. We’ll pay out of pocket if we have to but that’s not sustainable for everyone and deeply unfair to people who can’t afford it: US pediatricians’ new COVID-19 shot recommendations differ from CDC advice
This FDA and CDC cannot be trusted. Who is eligible for a COVID shot? What to know about the latest U.S. changes: “The FDA and CDC will no longer recommend annual COVID vaccinations for healthy people younger than age 65, overturning past official U.S. health policy.”
This exposes us to more unnecessary risk: “Healthy people who live in the same household or health care and child care providers who have no chronic conditions would not qualify to receive updated doses under these recommendations.”
